摘要

醫學院學生在來日面對病患之生老病死，因此他們是否能有健康的面對死亡態度至為重要。為了研究醫學院學生在形成其面對死亡時反應之相關因子，因此以20題問卷，施之於324位醫學院學生，經過檢測各題問卷之內在符合度，以及進行主要成分分析，末了將這20題凝集成四項反應的集合體，即焦慮、逃避、哲學式思考、現實面對等。將學生之臨床特質與其進行相關研究，發現在現實面對這一項中，僅當在學生有閱讀相關之死亡學書籍時，方比較容易呈現，因此可了解，在大學生實施生死學教學，應可以促進學生更多之機會去接觸這一類的書籍，也更能協助他們去發展較為健康的面對死亡。

A questionnaire related to death attitude was tested in 325 students at Medical School, National Cheng Kung University. It contains 20 items. After measuring the internal concordance, principle component analysis and subsequent oblimin rotation, four factors were fomulated: anxiety and fear, avoiding and running-away, philosophical and mysterious thinking, and reality facing. The clinical parameters of students were evaluated among different factors and correlation obtained. The results showed that the reality facing response was affected by the parameter of reading the books of thanantology only. Therefore, the teaching of thanantology is quite important since it would help the student to develop the realistic attitude in facing dying and death.
